Always Be Diversifying!

[Solomon Floyd]

While many of you have been wondering about the future of interest rates and the economic climate, it seems a very overlooked area is diversification. You will need to start applying your allocated income towards CASHFLOW. This will offer greater significance as debt sources dry up. Having a reliable source of cash generation will be key, for those without income producing property or the means to invest heavy. The solution is to diversify into prodcuring REITs and funds with established portfolios and preferred rates of returns. These companies allow you to invest with minimal cash, while protecting your money with a large real estate portfolio spread across multiple assets classes. All this to say, the best thing to do now if you don't have what you need to invest in your dream deal. Place those funds into a REIT or a fund, there several paying great dividends quarterly and offer security for the long term.

Complicated topic.  Publicly traded REITs are down 25% this year.  Is that enough or too much?  Hard to say.  Non public REITs have not declined yet...that's risky with high interest rates, declining rents, and recession concerns.  I agree though of having access to cash and cash flow in this market.

The trick is to thread the needle and find buying opportunities at lower prices while still having access to good debt.
